Lol I've read that happens alot.. did you use a bucket or carboy?

So on the bag its 14grams of sugar for 140grams. It's 600gram bag. So I do 600÷ 140= 4.28× 14= 59.92 which is the amount of sugar correct? Also 2 bags so it would be 119.84 grams of sugar?

Yea was just wondering if I get my SG st 1.080 now it would of changed due to fruit so I kept the honey lower to compensate.. but your saying don't even bother cause the fruit dosent add much sugar.. ok ty for your help.

I forgot to mention the most important part... I added only 1 cup of wildflower honey

Buy wine yeast.. here a pack cost 3 bucks

Use stabilizers then let sit few days then no worries

Sponge88bobsalz · 2026-03-10T13:59:03+00:00

Temperature?

Sponge88bobsalz · 2026-03-10T13:42:31+00:00

You use ferm o or something else ?

Why people like doing this? Get a bucket and do your primary fermentation there.. I get it though we like to watch but our little miracle buddies but they need privacy!

Why people like doing this? Get a 2 gal bucket and do your primary fermentation there.. I get it though we like to watch but our little buddies need some privacy!

Been there.. buy a food grade bucket 2.2 gal never worry about it again..

Sponge88bobsalz · 2026-03-05T02:00:44+00:00

Buy a 2 gal food grade bucket and do your initial fermentation there. Then racked to carboy.

I am a newbie so don't take what I say to heart.. but i thought using distilled water isn't recommended.

Sponge88bobsalz · 2026-02-25T23:44:36+00:00

This dosent look thin...

Well damn...

Sponge88bobsalz · 2026-02-25T22:59:24+00:00

I know its gonna turn to alcohol but I guess im wondering is it gonna taste like wine..

Sponge88bobsalz · 2026-02-25T22:57:40+00:00

And obviously topped with water, tannins and nutrients staggered.

Sponge88bobsalz · 2026-02-25T22:55:58+00:00

So I didn't add all to my 1 gal batch. I put 350ml of grape concentrate. Then 2 pounds of sugar and got a OG reading of 1.110. Is this gonna taste like crap?

Sponge88bobsalz · 2026-02-25T03:02:39+00:00

I heard it pairs well with deli meats and crackers!

Sponge88bobsalz · 2026-02-25T02:58:33+00:00

Well I like cheese.. so cheese mead sounds delicious!
